Simple fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Butter, noodles, Parmesan, and leftover roast chicken.
I'm getting better with making homemade GF fettuccine with my KitchenAid stand mixer pasta attachments 😃 🍽️ #GlutenFree #Homemade
Tomatoes are in containers 😃 I will cage the ones in the crates, bins, and buckets once I get my pool noodle system set up. The tomatoes in the free-standing pots are caged. I got everything well watered. #Gardening #ContainerGardening #Garden
Today I got the container for my cucumbers ready. I made a teepee out of last year's sunflower stalks. I'll put the cucumber seedlings in the container in a couple of days. #ContainerGardening #Gardening #Garden
When I went to the seed swap, a gentleman had these beans for people to try. They are referred to as Peruvian Popping beans. I can't wait to see how they come out. Here is an article about them: www.usda.gov/about-usda/n...
Seeds have been started 😃 Except for the celosia (flower), I have lots of tomatoes and other veg started. If every seed I have started germinates, I will need to find homes for plants, at least the tomatoes. I only plan on keeping 2 or 3 of each. #garden #gardening #containergarden
Fresh batch of peanut butter. Rasted, unsalted peanuts and some roasted sesame oil to add more depth of flavor :D 🍽️
WOOT! & HOO!!!!!! They all sealed 🙂 Tuesday, I whipped up yogurt in my Lux InstaPot, and then set 3 lbs of chickpeas to soak overnight. After I got the yogurt straining yesterday, I worked on canning the chickpeas. 🍽️
All my inside lights are up and programmed, and Sebastian is now sporting flamingo slippers 😁
Turkey day was enjoyed by all, even Sebastian 😄 #Thanksgiving #Whimsy
Fresh loaf of GF sourdough bread. Letting it 2nd proof overnight in the fridge is definitely the way to go. Brushed with butter as soon as it came out 🍽️ #GlutenFree #Sourdough

Halloween decos are down and being packed away. However, we've decided that Sebastian is going to stay in the house. We are serious believers in whimsy, and we have plans 😁 Now, if I can just lay my hands on a #Hogfather outfit, I know what Sebastian will be doing for #HogsNightWatch 😆
I took a break from following back to break out my mandoline to slice up some onions I had forgotten someone had given me a couple of weeks back. Six bags for the freezer and some for the Instant Pot refried beans I am making for dinner tonight. 🍽️
My #DIY ghosties are ready to be deployed again for this #Halloween. It’s amazing what you can do with old window sheers, tomato cages, and wire 😀 #Homemade #decorations #ghosts
Most of the outside decos are up. I still need to assemble the cauldron, put my homemade ghosties on their frames, and hang the floating ripper. I'll start decorating the deck in a little while.
Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.
I'm collecting most of my Showy Milkweed pods to save the seeds, but I'm leaving a couple so Mother Nature can do her thing. Hopefully, we can establish some milkweed in the mobile home park I live in 😁 #garden #gardening #butterflies #pollinators #nature #flora
Now, I love me my pumpkin spice. What's not to love about a lovely blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice? But this is getting frigging ridiculous!!!!!
The results of the last few days of baking frenzy. At the bake are the tweaked recipes for my sourdough bread, pumpkin bread, snickerdoodles, and blonde brownies. The final bakes have been delivered to the county fair, where I entered them in the gluten-free category. 🍽️ #GlutenFree
